Eddie took the card from Haylis and said, "I'll go!"
He exclaimed, then raised the corners of his mouth.
When Rob the Landlord revealed the other three cards, the corner of his mouth dropped a bit.
But the cards that Haylis left for him were really good. Although the process was bumpy, he still won.
In the subsequent rounds, no one could draw good cards in a row, which further tested the players' skills. Sergey and Allen each won a few rounds, which could be regarded as saving some face.
Many students are very interested in playing cards and Landlords. When ordering playing cards, they also require a detailed explanation of the rules.
Eddie agreed one by one. It was late, and they returned to the dormitory exhausted.
"Phew!" Eddie threw himself on the bed and let out a long breath, "I'm so exhausted!"
Allen packed up the toiletries and trotted into the bathroom with his slippers. Joel leaned on the bed and continued to read his "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration". He was currently obsessed with how to turn a dinner plate into a goblet.
Sergey returned to the dormitory and started making playing cards. "Can you give me a copy of the instructions?"
He turned back to Joel.
"I'll write it now," Joel jumped out of bed, "I'll write a few more copies for backup."
"Just one copy is enough, I can use 'Copy to Double'."
Joel was stunned for a second, then dipped his quill in ink and wrote down all the rules in his mind on the parchment.
The parchment bought by the original owner of the body is very cheap. The color of the paper is darker than ordinary parchment, and there are some spots on it. It feels very rough when writing on it with a quill pen.
He tried to make the rules as simple and easy to understand as possible. After all, none of the students at Hogwarts had ever played the game Landlord before.
The planning skills of his previous life were clearly displayed, and within ten minutes, he handed over the written rules to Sergey.
"Copy into pairs." Sergei murmured, tapping his wand lightly on the parchment.
Another identical piece of parchment appeared on the table.
Joel raised his eyebrows, feeling that this child was really talented.
In the next two days, Eddie wandered around the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff common rooms with dozens of decks of playing cards made by Sergey (which came with new instructions for how to play).
Students from these two colleges warmly received Eddie. Many young wizards came from the Muggle world and had some knowledge of poker before. They were very interested in the new gameplay brought by Eddie.
With the cooperation of Eddie and the Weasley twins who were willing to demonstrate, the little wizards of Gryffindor purchased a lot of playing cards.
After the sales, Eddie gave the Weasley brothers two playing cards to express his gratitude.
The sales of playing cards grew rapidly, and soon it was Friday, and today they only had one lesson - Potions with Hufflepuff.
Professor Snape walked into the underground classroom with vigorous steps, and then closed the door forcefully. The animal specimens around the classroom gave off a cold and chilling atmosphere.
"I will take roll in every class. If you don't want me to lock you up to clean up the carcasses of dead animals... you'd better come to class on time." Snape's voice was low.
He was dressed in black just like in the original work, with black hair and black eyes. There was no trace of emotion in his eyes. It was obvious that he had practiced Occlumency to the extreme.
There was silence in the classroom, and the children were frightened by Snape's words.
Snape continued: "Potion science is the most profound and difficult art. The crucible emits wisps of white smoke, the fragrance of the potion lingers in the nose, and the boiling potion makes a gurgling sound. It is so fascinating..."
"As a professor, I will teach you the content in the textbook, but this is far from enough for potions. Many knowledge and tips are not written in the book. You need to think hard and do it yourself in order to understand potions.
The mystery and fun.”
"Of course, the prerequisite is that your brain should be brighter. I have taught many students before, and their brains are no different from those of trolls - except that their heads are much smaller."
After saying this, Professor Snape started his first class.
"Scabies potion, I think has been written in quite detail in the textbook." Professor Snape asked them to prepare the potion in the first class. "Porcupine quills, snake teeth, horned slugs... there are all in the cabinet in front of the classroom.
We have stock, what are you waiting for, why don’t you act quickly?”
Everyone ran forward at once. Joel first memorized the grams of raw materials needed for the scabies potion, walked forward slowly, weighed the sufficient amount of raw materials, and returned to his seat.
He weighed it again with the second-hand scale he brought with him, and after confirming that the number of grams was accurate, he started to try.
First use a silver knife to smash the snake teeth into powder, and then cut off the horns of the horned slugs.
This process was extremely difficult. Joel had never actually seen a slug and was very resistant to this greasy species.
Out of disgust, he honestly cut off the horns of the five slugs in order to complete the task and prevent Snape from having a negative opinion of him.
According to the textbook method, the next step should be to set up the crucible and start lighting the fire. Joel had trouble with this step.
The textbook "Magic Potions and Potions" also explains how to ignite a fire: insert the wand into the space between the crucible pot and the base, then gently tap the pot upward, and the magic will automatically guide sparks to complete the ignition.
But he didn't have magic power. He saw Alan on the side began to stir the crucible skillfully, and a fragrance was already exuding. It seemed that he had completed a small step.
"Alan, can you help me light the fire?" While Professor Snape was wandering around elsewhere with his hands behind his back, Joel quickly asked Alan for help, "I have to grind the snake teeth into pieces."
Allen nodded, took out his wand and poked Joel's crucible twice. He kept staring at the crucible in front of him, and the white smoke from the potion almost buried his face in it.
The old crucible successfully lit a fire. Joel followed the steps and put the snake fangs in first. After the bottom of the crucible rose to the appropriate temperature, he put the slug's horns in, and then threw the slug away after a while.
Put into pot.
Next step... tap the crucible with the wand and inject magic into it until the color of the potion changes to light blue, then add dried nettles and stir until milky white and you are done.
???
Still need to use magic?
Joel didn't expect this. He turned around to ask Allen for help, but saw Professor Snape walking toward them with his hands behind his back.
This time it happened.
Joel watched Snape check everyone's progress from cauldron to cauldron, and criticized a few Hufflepuff students - one little badger weighed the wrong amount of slugs, and his potion had turned pitch black.
A piece, like oil.
Snape walked to Allen's cauldron and looked at the pot of potion that gradually turned milky white. It can be said that the potion of scabies potion was made quickly and successfully. His tight lips loosened slightly, but he did not give it to Raven.
Extra points for Crowe.
He turned to look at Joel's cauldron.
"Sir, what are you waiting for? Did you not eat this morning and want to cook this pot of potion for your breakfast?" He said unceremoniously.
